You could use either of these attribute selectors:
- [EMAIL PROTECTED] an E element whose "foo" attribute value ends exactly
with the string "bar"
- [EMAIL PROTECTED] an E element whose "foo" attribute value contains the
substring "bar"
So your query would look like this:
$('[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
I would add a tag name in the front for a little performance boost:
$('[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
You can find more info on those selectors here:
